The European Union is the world's biggest trader, accounting for 20% of global imports and exports. Free trade among its members was one of the founding principles of the EU, and it is committed to liberalising world trade for the benefit of rich and poor countries alike.

What happens to the EU's trade balance and what happens to equilibrium EU output when their trade partners have a recession?

When the EU's trade partners experience a recession, the demand for EU exports typically declines, leading to a deterioration in the EU's trade balance. As exports decrease, this can result in lower overall demand within the EU economy, causing a reduction in equilibrium output. Consequently, the EU may face slower economic growth or even a contraction, as businesses scale back production in response to decreased foreign demand.
